The Junking Trashformation Journey

wool fabric

Tags, tags, tags and more tags. I have been at it again. This time I was inspired by textiles that reminded me of the men in my life.

For the base I cut wool tweed upholstery fabric. It’s from a big roll I scored at a yard sale. You will probably be seeing a lot more projects using it in the future. A wool suit or coat fabric could also be used for this tag.

The next layer was book pages from an old Robin Hood book.

You can’t really tell that’s the book the pages came from, but I kinda like knowing it anyway. These rectangles were cut slightly smaller.

A blue jean rectangle went over that.

They were stitched on at a slight angle. No pins. No fuss.

My collection of thrifted men’s ties made up the next layer.

I used a school glue stick to hold the silk tie rectangle in place. This helped prevent the edges of the rectangle from stretching and distorting while being stitched.
